Preventing the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species

CLEAN + DRAIN + DRY

IT'S THE LAW:
Before transporting overland: 
CLEAN any plants, animals. or algae from your watercraft, trailer, and equipment 
DRAIN by removing drain plugs (e.g. transom, bilge, moto, live-well, ballast) to allow water to drain from the watercraft

GO ABOVE AND BEYOND: 
DRY
the watercraft and gear completely between trips and allow wet areas to air dry.  Consider CLEANING with and/or pressurized water
